Incoming Freshman Band Auditions
Most incoming freshmen enroll in Freshman Band, and no audition is necessary. However, students may decide to do the optional audition for placement in one of the upperclassmen bands (Advanced Symphonic Band, Symphonic Band or Concert Band) during the spring of their eighth-grade year. Please note: Freshmen who audition for upperclassmen bands are not guaranteed placement. They must meet a number of minimum performance criteria before being considered. Use this link to register for the optional audition.

Marching Percussion Auditions
Typically held in the spring - details TBA
